Success with quest for abs so far so good.
My whole reason for starting my diet besides my wife was to find the missing abs I always thought i would never see. Now I am sort of caught here considering the results are partially from wearing my slendertone belt.

connection between weight loss and testosterone levels
I was doing research the other day and it struck me. I have very high levels of testosterone which lead me to start thinking about weather or not it affects weight loss. After poking around a bit, noticed that I was not the only one that had thought about the relationship between the two. My wife has always had a very hard…

They call me the human plow
This is my new baby. The one advantage to cold weather is, i can actually somewhat stand on my feet as long as I am barefoot so they freeze. Yes i know this is not healthy but I have never suffered frostbite in the 8 years I have been exposing my feet to cold. Nerves freeze up and I am totally pain free for the time I am…

Whats been going on with me
For a lot of people I was always posting, reading living on the board. Lately after hurting my elbow lifting I had to keep my distance as I found it was causing a bit of depression reading like always.

Does anyone else look at calories like currency?
My wife and i had a good giggle about this the other day. We talk about our calories like its money. "No way i am spending 320 calories on a 1/4 cup of nuts thats a rip off" I was just curious if anyone else has adapted this type of mindset with their calories. Its so bad even that sometimes if i measure something i will…

Cancer is finally cured in Canada but..
I honestly dont know what to even think about this.. Cancer is finally cured in Canada but Big Pharma has no interest. Cancer is finally cured in Canada but Big Pharma has no interest.

Ice skakes and dumbbells you have a leg machine!!
SKATES rather This is a very very old method of training however i figured I would share it with anyone that could benefit from it. The idea is very simple you simulate Leg curls and Leg extensions with a pair of skates and some weights. What you do is simply find a pair of skates that have enough of a space in between the…

In the gym are you exercising your muscles or your mind?
I have been in the weightlifting game for almost 28 years now. I was wondering especially for people unaware, where is your mind when you are working out. I know most people have their mp3, ipod and all that to listen to when they work out, where is your mind focus? I have always done my sets with total concentration of…

A question of VAIN?
I find this a very odd and interesting topic. Personally I cant tell you how many times i get this crap about posting body pictures or me in a tank top. (not that i care what anyone thinks) What strikes me as odd is the fact that it seems perfectly fine if your skinny as a rake or somehow out of shape. I honestly take so…

Call me a dumbass but this has to be said (DOH)
I have just switched to using a food scale instead of going by cups, measurements, ei, small, med, large and so on. My wife loves sweet potato fries so i basically make them every night for her with supper. Keeping in mind this was the first day with a scale to weigh our food. I was shocked to see that the sweet potato…
